What a shit! I swear I can’t be surprised and generally ignore his antics but there’s always another, scummier, act.
Trump is literally a 77 year old child and conservatives want this guy to be president. Holy hell, no one can be a Trump supporter and criticize any other president.
He stole a bunch of stuff from the house he stayed at when he was in France.
I missed that, but pf course it’s true:

Of course he did. The dude is a typical piece of shit criminal. He will do any crime he thinks he can get away with without a second thought because only cares about himself and literally nothing else.
So far he has gotten away with all of the crimes, so it’s really working for him.
Let’s hope the tide is changing on that, but I’m not holding my breath.

Someone should just start putting out fake Trump articles with super-weird headlines and no-one would notice - anything is plausible with this guy.
- ‘Trump stole Israeli artifacts from White House’
- ‘Trump admits that he expects servicemen to be rapists’
- ‘Trump kicked a child in the face while campaigning in Iowa.’
- ‘Donald Trump just literally made the Republican race about his penis’
- ‘Donald Trump likes rough sex with prostitutes who only have one leg.’
- ‘Trump visited church before election day and walked out with a wooden pew under his arm and a gold alter crucifix concealed in his jacket.’
- ‘Trump was spotted Thursday cartwheeling down Santa Monica beach in a mankini.’
- ‘Trump just called Hillary Clinton Beelzubub, the eater of souls.’
- ‘Donald Trump stole classified documents, stored them in his bathroom in Mar-a-Lago, then sent copies via bike courier to the Russian and Saudi embassies for a cash exchange of $2 million per page.’
- ‘Donald Trump seen naked at 3am in Central Park humping a chihuahua.’
Challenge: 50% of these headlines are real, can you spot which ones?
1, 2, 4, 8, and 9.
3, 6, and 7 require too much physical ability to be true. 5 and 10 are both plausible, but I doubt they’d be a headline.
Congratulations, here’s your lemmy lemon! 🍋
Finally, a prize I can use!!
I’m just glad I didn’t win a lemon party.
Never too late!
🍋 🎉 💦 😩 🥵
Winner! Well done. You win a Trump Prize Pack containing a signed MAGA hat, a pack of Trump NFT cards, a genuine Trump tupee with pre-combed slick back and sides, a framed copy of his love letter to Kim Jong Un the North Korean dictator, and a McDonalds voucher for a years supply of cheese burgers. Look for it in the mail.
Um, th-thanks, I guess…?
The love letter would be interesting to see, as would the nft cards, but maybe I can auction the rest. Lol

That’s exactly what we need, more fake news.
Maybe someone could take over that weird network of fake local news sites that exist to push right-wing agitative propaganda and instead push fake trump headlines
1, 3, 4, 8 and 9?
Close, but still good enough for second prize. Good effort.
You win a life-sized cardboard cutout of Donald Trump with touch activated audio loops of all his most memorable Presidential quotes, such as: “And yet I’ve gone decades, decades without a war. The first president to do it for that long a period.”, and “I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn’t lose any voters, OK? It’s, like, incredible.” and “Despite the constant negative press covfefe”. Look for it in the mail.
lol of course he fucking would. The dudes all about getting that clout with his buddies he invites over.
IKR. It’s incorrigible, but it’s 100% on-brand. Ask anyone, “do you think Trump would steal ancient israeli artifacts from the whitehouse?”. Absolutely yes, that is exactly what Trump would do given the opportunity.
That said, I don’t feel very sorry for the Israeli’s, they were just trying to suck up, Trump reciprocated with some incendiary statements in support of Israel IIRC, so it just sucks to be them really.
The lamps were lent to the white house in 2019, before Trump took office.
2019, before Trump took office
Trump took office* in January of 2017…
*more like stole office, which is very on-brand for him
Ugh, I guess I was a little tired and have heard too much about 2020 lately…
Perfectly understandable lol
No, Trump ‘took office’ in 2020. He took it all to Mar-a-Lago.
” The lamps were lent to the white house in 2019, before Trump took office.
What? He took office in January 2017.
ISRAEL LENT SEVERAL antiquities to the White House in 2019, including ancient clay lamps for a White House Hanukkah event. Unfortunately, Donald Trump was president at the time, which means the artifacts are now at Mar-a-Lago, and Israel can’t figure out how to get them back, Haaretz reported on Tuesday.
Shit, yeah, I must have been tired and have heard too much about 2020 lately. I’m dumb…
Don’t, just don’t engage, you’ll end up arguing why trump couldn’t have written the constitution while single handedly defeating the nazis who weren’t actually that bad, just misunderstood.
Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.
Just change anti-semite in this case to whatever the fuck redhats are now.
Wow, I made a dumb, tired mistake regarding the year that Trump took office and now I’m an anti-semite? I don’t see how you can even make that leap, even though the subject had to do with Iseael. I wasn’t defending him, in fact, my mistaken comment was intended to point out that his actions were even worse.
I’m not a Trumper and am certainly not an anti-semite. Don’t throw around accusations like that so casually. It’s dangerous for many reasons.
That is a quote by sartre about the use of nonsense in arguments, hence my footnote.
If you made an honest mistake, I apologize, but please tell me honestly you haven’t seen people make similar false arguments on purpose.
All I’m trying to say is that you should be more careful with throwing out accusations of racism. I have seen people make nonsense arguments in bad faith, yes, but I generally try to refute their point rather than label them as racist without some kind of evidence. I prefer to assume that people are mistaken rather than malicious bigots until proven otherwise.
I appreciate that anti-semitism is a legitimate problem, but calling people anti-semites over so little dilutes your arguments for when you actually do encounter one. It’s similar to conservatives calling anyone they disagree with “woke”. Overuse of the term makes it less impactful when you actually encounter someone who deserves to be labeled an anti-semite. It also “proves” to conservatives that the “left” just throws around names and labels without justification and makes it more difficult to have a reasonable discussion.
Just be more careful with tossing out loaded terms until you have something more definitive than a single mistaken sentence. It only feeds the division and does nothing to solve the current problems.
Oh, when did trump take office ?
Shit… I guess I was a little tired. Too much heating about 2020…
They belong in a museum!
He belongs in prison
He belongs in a museum?
Do we know what the artifacts were?
Yes, the article says they were ancient clay lamps.
maybe he was trying to make a wish, Aladin style
This is like a plot to a movie or something. Some cancelled Indiana Jones spin-off.
The Disney + holiday special
Here’s a headline:
“Cheeto guy commits felony, others suffer as a result.”
Now that’s a headline no one expects!
/s
actual batman villain
The writing for Batman villains isn’t this shallow, tbh.
The Joker: “I may be a literal deranged clown with an obsession for a guy in a bat suit, but even I’m not as cartoonish as this Trump guy.”
Reminds me of the time a version of him refused to work with and tried to kill a version of Red Skull when he found out the dude was an actual Nazi rather than just cosplaying one. “I may be a criminal lunatic, but I am an American criminal lunatic”. Which is an interesting take, dude’s a sometimes omnicidal maniac who has on multiple occasions tried to destroy all of reality, but at least he’s equal opportunity about it and it isn’t for racist reasons.
Even the Joker knows racism isn’t funny
Nah… most of batman’s villains have PhDs. Trump is like if a saturday cartoon villain had an unfortunate accident with an ice pick and lost 100 iq pts.
He’s a Captain Planet villain.
The Hamburglar?
You mean Palestinian artifacts?
lmao
Are they ancient jewish artifacts or are they ancient palestinian artifacts? Given Israel has only been there since the end of ww2 I find it hard to believe they’re “israeli” artificats and feel like they’re probably old jewish ones being conflated.
They didn’t nail then down? Rookie mistake.
ow that paywall
I gotcha,…
ISRAEL LENT SEVERAL antiquities to the White House in 2019, including ancient clay lamps for a White House Hanukkah event. Unfortunately, Donald Trump was president at the time, which means the artifacts are now at Mar-a-Lago, and Israel can’t figure out how to get them back, Haaretz reported on Tuesday.
The artifacts were only supposed to be in Washington, D.C., for a few weeks. Israel Hasson, then the director of the Israeli Antiquities Authority, told Haaretz that because they are so valuable, he wanted someone to pick them up instead of having them shipped overseas. The pandemic derailed these plans, and the artifacts remained in the White House. Israeli authorities learned several months ago that they wound up at Mar-a-Lago.
Eli Eskozido, who took over for Hasson at the Israeli Antiquities Authority, has solicited the help of the Israeli government and Trump’s former U.S. ambassador to the nation in his efforts to retrieve the artifacts — to no avail.
Somehow, the former president stealing ancient Israeli artifacts isn’t surprising. Trump all but ransacked the White House on his way out of office, most notably absconding with hundreds of classified documents. Trump was criminally indicted for his handling of the documents in June, and yet still thinks he’s entitled to the sensitive material. Rolling Stone reported late last month that he was demanding his lawyers figure out how to get “my documents” back after the government retrieved them, even as it became clear he would be indicted for hoarding them.
